YOU SAID IT

We sent the shock and vibration Z-Wave sensor to John so he could test it with his new SmartThings 2 hub. Here is how he used the Vision shock and vibration sensor:

I needed something to protect my sliding glass door from forced entry so I turned to a shock sensor. Setup was super easy as I illustrate in the video.I did realize later that I installed it upside down but so far it seems to work fine so I decided not to go through the process of ripping it off and flipping it.The range on the sensor is pretty solid at about 25 feet from the nearest repeater.I haven't had any issues with false positives so far so I have no complaints!One thing I would like to note: I am using this sensor with a SmartThings V2 Hub and by default it shows up as a door/window sensor this won't work for most people's purposes. I very simply logged into the SmartThings developer portal and went to the "My Devices" section and edited the device to turn it into a "Motion Sensor" instead. This made the sensor act the way that I needed it to. It now shows as an intrusion when the door is moved while my system is armed. - John DiCapua
